oh what a day.

so yesterday was one of those do-nothing days. i got up at 11 (snow day!) ate some b-fast, then walked around the house for hours, stopping to watch tv, go on the computer, kill as much time possible before i HAD to study. when im stuck in the house for a full day im very lazy. i always have something to do but when i finally have the time to get things done i tend to choose to relax instead. always end up regreting it. im actually fully aware that i will regret it while i waste time. it's pretty darn stupid. i guess you could say i have a bad case of procrastination.

later i went outside with the boys to shovel. i pretty much had to. my dad was in california for work so my mom asked (made) us kids do it. i hate shoveling. it was especially hard because the snow was half melted already so it felt 10 times heavier. oh and it was raining. not fun. i kept saying to matt, "this is not fun."

came inside after the whole driveway was clear (and the side walks next to it). pants were soaking wet. i took them off right when i got inside and put them in the wash. didnt even bother putting another pair on. i guess i was too lazy. my mom ordered chinese to reward us for doing a job well done. went on the computer. saw that nancy's school was having matthew shepard's mom come speak. to delay midterm studying even more i watched a half hour interview of her on google video. it was life changing. definitely a highlight of the day. thank you nancy.

started studying at 10 pm. thinking about how stupid i was for not doing it earlier. why do i always do this to myself? like right now i should be studying, but instead im writing about my boring day yesterday. wow. this is really lame. i should go study.

one last thing: a thought to danielle's post on why an internet journal? i do it because it's quicker than writing. my thoughts look a bit more organized typed than on paper. started just on microsoft word, but it didnt look as cool. and i agree, it is fairly liberating.

time for physics. hopefully my focus pants will stay on.

i love you too danielle!
and oh my god thats a lot of studying! i really need a personal library or something. or i should just chuck the computer and tv out the window. nah, id still find something to keep me from studying. physics was actually a lot easier than i thought. im pretty confident about it which is awesome.
have a wonderful wonderful weekend.
oh, random thing. im writing 2 articles for my school's social justice club and one's about me being a jew in a primarily christian school/town during the holiday season. and im also writing one on dave d'amico's program. i can send them to you when im done if you want. haha just thought i'd let you know. =)
